No need to do such a extensive wipe - especially no need to format SD cards...:rolleyes:

It is Fat32 anyway and not the source of his problem...

Problem is that CM7 converts /system, /data and /cache to EXT4 and stock rom doesn't support this.

Hello!

Bluetooth works fine with CM7.2-RC0 including A2DP - using the standard kernel and the most recent ironknL - I don't know for vodonkas KANG kernel though...

Did you download a matching RIL after you flashed the CM7-KANG?

It always comes with 0218 and you are most probably on a newer BB so you should load a matching RIL using GetRIL or LG RIL Version and reboot.

You need a Froyo RIL by the way - CM7 doesn't support Gingerbread RILs.

And yes CM7 converts your filesystem to EXT4 and the stock rom doesn't support it - that is why you have the bootloop...

You can flash backtoExt3.zip (xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=720818&d=1316120010) to get your system back to EXT3.

No need to wipe DATA!!!

And if you have problems answering calls it could be the ring delay setting in build prop - I had problems there and setting ring delay to 4000 fixed it...
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
i did not change the ril version.

so i boot into recovery mode. i install the zip backtoExt3.zip

and after i recover my backup "lg unofficial 20o" i made before install cm7 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

If you didn't change the RIL after flashing CM7 this is causing you blue-tooth problems - you must always download the corresponding RIL after flashing a CM7-ROM...:rolleyes:;)

And Yes, if you want back flash backtoext3 in cwm and then restore your backup and you are good to go.
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
so the right order is...

1.boot into cwm

2.install backtoext3

3. restore backup

do i have to wipe any data (data,system,dalvin) before of after?

if yes in which order?
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Yes...

You should wipe /cache and dalvik cache.

Before you reboot...

But again don't give up so easily on CM7 - you problem was most probably the wrong RIL - remember...:rolleyes:;)
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
thank you very much "Medizinmann " i am back at my restore point with stock firmware.

by the way which "keyboard" is in cm7? i really liked it!
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

Its a variant of the plain Gingerbread keyboard...
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

So back on topic...;):D

The Xperia Arc S is fine but it is only a single core - so less computing power than a LG O2x.

Camera should be a little better because Sony makes really good smartphone cameras some of the best in the market - so if this important to you it is a pro/plus for the Xperia.
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
so is there any trick or app to check what file system is sdcards?

(so we dont have to remember from rom comments)
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
ok if i want to try again with more experience my backup that i made with cm7.

i should...

boot in recovery

wipe data

wipe system???

restore backup (and what about ext3? will it convert to ext4 again?)

wipe dalvin cache

reboot

is this the correct order? did i miss something?

i remind you that i am now in stock LG 20o.
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
install my backup from cm7.2-rc0-kang last night and putting right RIL the telephone is working normal today.

yes CM7.2 seems much smoother and nice with may tweaks to customize. even battery is better than before.

but adw launcher seems luggy than launcher pro i was using in 20o.

also there is no note app installed.

lets see if it will stand many days before i need to restart the phone!

in stock rom you need to do this every 2-3 days even less!
[LG Optimus 2x] sander-m:
I strongly recommend to install Go Launcher EX or Launcherpro. ADW is indeed sluggish..

Using customkernel (vadonka's kan kernel or ironkernel) provides extra performance, also memory leak seems to be fixed (no need to reboot every 2 days)
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

If you had launcher pro and liked it - go ahead it will work with CM7 just fine...:)

...and finding a note app in the market should be a problem either. You could use Jota Text Editor for instance.
[LG Optimus 2x] Avfcman:
Just purchased the phone on Amazon for £199!

I think it will be well worth the wait, just need to wait for the delivery!
[LG Optimus 2x] stesmi:
I have found vadonka's kang kernel to be better for me, and with better I mean "works at all". With ironkernel I just get stuck at boot no matter what I do.

I specifically mean the 2011-01-13 kernel (not -10 through -12) as he reverted a change and now it works for a lot of people having trouble (same people that seem to have problems with ironkernel and even vork).

// Stefan
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:
I just did the same this afternoon, after I guess you were one of the two people I know that also bought a P990 from Amazon last night lol.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Damn that's a great price for a superb piece of hardware. I have never used my O2X with the stock software have only ever used CyanogenMod. Which is a superb combination, even for the measly £270 I paid 4 months ago.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] Avfcman:
Phone Came, now just updating, will run stock for a while to see if all is well, them will move to roms :) just hope everything works out :)

Thanks to everyone for all the advice I greatly appreciated it
[LG Optimus 2x] Avfcman:
Must say its an impressive piece of kit for £200

Fast, plays games like a breeze, loads of room for apps, liking this better than my iPod

One thing that I don't really like is the jitter you get on the stock rom.

Also installed a launcher and a new keyboard as I don't really like the stock one
[LG Optimus 2x] TheDaftandFilthyOne:
I've been disappointed in my Optimus 2X almost since I bought it a year ago....

CM7 (Nightly Kang) + default/any Kernel + ADW Ex Launcher solved everything. It's on SG2 level like this, at least.
[LG Optimus 2x] sushantp666:
I have only 1 word to say "customization ",if u buy android u get unlimited chance of fun, no repeated themes & also very bad support from officials & very good support from consumers. On the other hand iPhone its boring as hell u totally depends on apple.so considering this fact try what u suits
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
£200 is a really great price. With a great ROM such as CyanogenMod, the handset is awesome.

Have fun. Anil

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Glad to hear you are having fun with the O2X and CyanogenMod. This ROM allows the handset to be as good as it can be.

I am amazed that in this day and age, LG still produces crapware. Hardware is totally useless without great software, and CyanogenMod is an amazing testament to what can be achieved when a group of like-minded people set their sights on a goal and simply go for it!

Have fun. Anil

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Unfortunately it seems you miss the point of why the iPhone is so massively popular. But hey, if you enjoy modding your handset, then ANDROID is a good place to be. But it is no more or less fun than iOS. Some people simply want to have fun doing stuff with their phone. As opposed to having fun doing stuff to their handset.

My sister in law would be lost on ANDROID, too many options for her. On iOS she would be more comfortable. Simplicity = ease of use. Complexity requires knowledge, and the willingness to learn, which is ANDROID.

Have fun. Anil

[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
i have a optimus 2x and my wife got my ex iPhone 3gs.

I love android for customize and love iphone for just working out of the box (and less customize but jailbreak opens many possibilities)

so owning both I can give an honest opinion.

Did or do you own an iphone? I bet not...
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
+1

If u haven't got an iphone u dont know anything!

I am using a 3gs for 3 years now and i bought an 2x to check android.

I know both well now and i vote for iphone to be working out of the box, no crashes, no restarts!

Yes iphone 4s is 3x the price but you can get a used 3gs or maybe a 4 at a near o2x price!
[LG Optimus 2x] Schmeichel1:
O2X

Optimus is much better for me if you like moding

iPhone is working grate of the box...
[LG Optimus 2x] kemmo123:
as most users here will know... always do your research before buying ANY new phone. i bought the optimus 2x due to how cheap it was compared to its competitors, also knowing i would run custom roms straight away. even when jailbroken, any iphone won't compare to a well set up dual core android handset... and yes i have owned an iphone... i much prefer owning a phone and not being owned by apple...
[LG Optimus 2x] dragon911:
The trend of cell phone is bigger screen. 4 inch is more fun for playing game, easier for browsing the internet, easier for typing.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
If you're on this forum chances are you will want to mod your "handset".

I wouldn't choose Apple over any other product. I hate their "proprietary" philosophy. The only product I had from Apple was the ipod and that was because there were no other 80 GB hard drive mp3 players at the time. Now with cheaper SD cards I got rid of it very quickly (and with that, no more iTunes!!).
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Some users spend considerably more time modding their handset than using it.

Isn't everything proprietary in one form or another? AMAZON Kindle, NOKIA, Windows, and let's not forget ANDROID. Out-of-the-box ANDROID is locked down, I have to ROOT the device to gain access to the hardware.

If your happy cutting off your nose to spite your face, good luck.

Have fun. Anil

PS. I use Mac OS X on non Apple hardware. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
You seem to be missing my point.

You replied saying that, for example, to your sister-in-law, the iPhone was better because she prefers something simpler. Well, I would say she is not in this forum. Chances are, if you're reading this forum, you're a little tech savvy and you will enjoy tampering with your phone's settings to try and make it perform better.

A lot of stuff is proprietary but Apple pushes the envelop imho. While most phone manufacturers nowadays are shifting to micro USB, for example, Apple insists on using cables that will not be useful for anything else. I, for one, like having the same cable for either my phone/my external harddrive/my mp3 player, instead of having to carry 3 separate cables.

Also, you said:

If this means they don't spend as much money on software development and then are able to come out with cheaper products with better hardware, that we can later mod and have nice software in them, I am for it!
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Thanks for reading my posts, unfortunately you misquoted me. I NEVER said the iPhone was better. I said the iPhone was better suited for her.

Anyone who say's ANDROID is better than the iPhone, or vice versa, has a narrow point of view and cannot see that others may see things differently.

I'm sick and tired of this childish posturing, it never ends and progresses nothing except the ego of the antagonist. Where does it end? It doesn't! Simply because they are offering a subjective point of view, about a subjective subject.

Green is better than orange, Pepsi is better than Coke, ANDROID is better than iOS, Linux is better than Windows, Macintosh is better than Windows, 3.5" screens are better than bigger screens, iPad is better than life, on and on, blah blah blah.

Anybody else had enough? Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Yes, like I said, better for your sister-in-law. And, to me, Android phones are better than iOS phones. I have micro USB, I have SD card expansion slots, I can have more than one battery if I want to, I don't need to install iTunes on my PC to have music in it, I have all my contacts synchronized with my gmail account, I have (in O2X) gorilla glass that doesn't shatter completely at the slightest drop, and the list goes on. These are the very objective reasons to why I'd rather not go for an Apple product. I'm not saying that Apple is worst than the rest, I'm saying to me it is. I think I'm entitled to an opinion. Thanks.

I agree that one can never say that Green is definitely better than Orange (taking your example). But if the name of the thread is "Green or Orange?" I think obviously when someone says "Green is better" it's implicit that it's that person's opinion.

Guys,,,,

Its better to stay on what is required on/from the forum rather than debating each one's personal opinions....

[LG Optimus 2x] plakers:
+1... o2x!!!

customization, solution to have a real usable/performance mix of YOUR choice. can tune so many options, parameters, applications! and the phone itself is realy fast, stable, with great functions.

Android vs IOS...

Market vs Store...

"Locked" versus "Open(able)"...

Well, my humble opinion, but the price/quality of this phone : you won't regret.

The only thing that made me "sad" was the battery life. But with reasonable use, a bit of customization and some tools (and/or battery replacement) it could be better easily.

My SO HUMBLE opinion... :)

You should try "need for speed"(hot pursuit)
[LG Optimus 2x] Avfcman:
Its great. Though updated mine to 2.3 stock. Ram fills up and won't clear making the phone randomly reboot. Think it's time for a custom from!
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Yeah I kept mine on stock 2.2 and so far no issues, but I will be experimenting with the roms in a week or so :)

When you start customizing it keep "us" (or me) posted! As we bought the phone at more or less the same time we should have very similar phones so our experience shouldn't differ too much :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lilblackgirl:
I successfully rooted my NT (thank you Indirect) and in setting up GoLauncher with its initial settings, it noted that there was a new "tablet" setting for the launcher which makes icons and such larger.

I hate this look.

Is there any way to change it back to the settings for a phone instead of having everything larger? I've scoured the settings to change it to the phone size, but can't find it. I thought I'd be able to uninstall it and reinstall it, but I can't even figure out how to do that.

can anyone help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
I know there is a setting, but I'm not near my NT to look. When Go Launcher updated on my NT a couple of days ago there was a pop up that said the location. I'll post back when I find it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lilblackgirl:
Yeah, I tried this, but it's not quite the same. I was really hoping for the phone sized option instead. Everything's scaled down and not just some of the icons.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] edwardxi:
yes,I dislike that large icon neither

so I just reinstalled the old version

you can download it from their web:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lilblackgirl:
OK, dumb question then. How do i uninstall it? I've been using Uninstaller to uninstall apps off the tablet, but GoLauncher doesn't display in the list of apps. Is there somewhere else to uninstall it from?:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] edwardxi:
just download the old version and install it

you needn't uninstall the new one first:)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] n4v1n:
Just wondering if the HTC raider (international version of vivid) will be recognized by ATT's imei database. I'm trying to keep my unlimited medianet plan
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] newter55:
No it won't. Using two of them on medianet plans
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
i would say they probably can, especially if you use more data than say a MEdia Net user would use, that would raise some flags.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] n4v1n:
Excellent exactly the answer I needed! BTW can you access LTE with it or are you only on 3G/3.5G?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
For LTE you would need an LTE capable sim card. For 4g youd need a capable 4g sim card, for 3g you'd need a 3g capable sim card. Sim cards are backwards capable but not forwards.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] n4v1n:
That was not my question. WHat I was asking was can he get LTE using the medianet plan.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
No, its not an LTE capable APN. LTE has a totally seperate RAN and Core network from the 2G/3G RAN and Core Network.

PTA is LTE APN you should be using.

using the MEdia Net plan with the Vivid is like driving a Ferarri with a Yugo engine.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

incorrect, you need 4 things:

1. LTE SIM Card

2. LTE Data Plan

3. LTE device

4. LTE network

even if you dont live in an LTE market, you still need 1-3. otherwise you end up changing APN's and not getting a good experience.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Its not a question of if youd gave a good time doing it. I mean if the dude wants to use a medianet plan on a lte phone obviously he dgaf bout having a good time using this thing.

It is possible as asked. No you can't get LTE but yes you can get data.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
yes, he can get data, however, eventually he will get caught.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
This is incorrect:

For LTE you need a LTE SIM

For "4G"(HSPA/HSPA+) you need a 3G SIM... because it's really 3G.

For "4G (UMTS that the vivid calls 4G) you need a 3G SIM

My co-worker bought a Vivid and they did not replace his SIM... his phone worked fine as far as he knew until I asked if he was digging the LTE they had turned on a day earlier... He had no LTE, but was cruising along at HSPA+ speeds just fine... went to the AT&T store, got the right SIM and PRESTO! LTE.

Same SIM he had had since his 3G Blackberry Curve... no way was it a "4G SIM"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
AT&T has had 6 revisions of SIM card, as long as you have a SIM card with the digits 25 in 9th/10th place, you have an LTE SIM card, and what i was talking was requirements for LTE, separate RAN and Core network. those 4 things drive the ability for you to be provisioned in the HSS (LTE equivalent of the HLR in the 3g network) you just proved my point above, "got the right SIM and PRESTO! LTE." SIM, IMEI, rate plan drive whether or not you get provisioned in the HSS.

i could go into more detail, however, I'm feeling lazy and tired at the moment.

i am betting they can see what device he has, even if international, AT&T probably has a range of IMEI for the HTC holiday and i am betting it is within that range,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
When I got my Atrix 4G they gave me a 4G sim card. 4G is different from 3G(+) It uses the same protocol yes but they upgraded the way the data is handled. As we all know 3G(+) was limited to 7.5mpbs. When I had the Atrix I was getting ~13mbps. There is a difference, and I've seen and researched it. Don't think I would put something in the General Knowledge Thread if I knew nothing about it ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
the Atrix is a 14.4mbps device. APN you probably were using was Phone, its not as limited like wap.cingular is.

HSDPA devices were 7.2, HSPA+ devices are usually 14.4 or higher

Original "4G" devices:

Inspire: 14.4mbps

Infuse: 21.mps

Atrix: 14.4mbps

Thrill:14.4mbps

does the SIM card have the digits 25 in the 9th and 10th place? they have had 4G sim's out for a while.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
You have to have 4G sim to access the APN is what I'm getting at. Just like you have to have an LTE sim to acess the LTE APN. I'm just dumbing it down so someone won't expect changing their APN to work. Now I have an LTE sim, I exchanged phones quite a few times before I stuck with this one.

As for actually data speeds I've gotten -

3G is ~1 (tested on iPhone4, bud hasn't changed his simcard in years)

3G+ is ~5 (tested on LG Quantum)

4G is ~13 (tested on Atrix 2)

4G LTE is ~ 26 (tested on HTC Vivid)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
yes, that sounds about right, i dunno where you are man, I've only seen 10mbps down and that was at 2:30 AM. LTE i have averaged that in NYC.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Around the Charlotte, NC area. It really depends on where I am. Some towers give me ~23. Others ~28. I got ~5mps in Concord, NC. Its horrible how much it varies in just a couple of miles.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
interesting...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Yup. I like having AT&T here. We got the backhaul (4G) a month after the Inspire's release. A good 70% of 3G areas don't even have the backhaul implemented yet (hence the reason people stating they switched cards and got no speed difference). This one guy had an inspire was only getting E around here. He got his sim card switched and out of nowhere he got 4G. Its kinda funny how the coverage doesn't overlap like one would imagine.
